I am a door greeter at Wal-Mart. I don't really like my job. The only reason I have to do it is because I got demoted from working at the return desk because I accidentally cashed a customer's payroll check. It was the first...

olivemom Sorry to hear that. So does this demotion a decrease in pay also? If you are so unhappy there, I suggest you look for something else. With 10 years of retail experience under your belt, you have some job solid pros on your resume, and employers look at...

olivemom Wow. Stories like these break my heart. These kids,girls especially, do not have the same rights as a human being as most of us do. We at times take that for granted. I hope the Parliament does whatever it takes or passes any laws they have to in order to...

Hello friends and good day to you. Hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was nice! So I'm wondering when was the last time that you got dressed up and you looked in the mirror at yourself and you really had to compliment...

olivemom I rarely get dressed up unless I have to lol. Last time was last month when I went to a wedding. I'm content just wearing a t-shirt and jeans most times or even my pajamas. Comfort is more important to me.

olivemom Yeah, I think it will be refreshing to have someone with no musical background to provide a "real" person's point of view. She is very funny so it should be interesting to see how she interacts with the contestants and the other judges.

olivemom I lost my job 3 days before Christmas and have been unemployed ever since. I've been looking but have no motivation because the jobs I am finding aren't paying me enough to get off unemployment. It's such a struggle right now and I'm hoping the economy gets...

olivemom He can apologize as many times as he wants but I think people will see him for the ego-maniac that he is and lose all respect for him. How many times can he get away with this kind of stuff? Enough is enough. I'm very glad that celebrities like Pink, Katy...

And if so, how long have you had it for? I've had my current digital camera for the past 3 and a half years and by the looks of it, it went out on me (died). I thought that maybe it was just the batteries that needed charging, but...

olivemom I've had mine for around the same time as yours. It still works pretty well, although it took a beating here and there. I bought my kids one for Christmas and it's much better and much cheaper so I use it all the time, lol. Digital cameras aren't as expensive...

olivemom Hmm..not sure about the proper etiquette but as long as you stop mid-conversation to at least say thank you, I think it would be okay.

olivemom You would have to make that decision for yourself. If you were in your friend's position, think about whether YOU would want your friend to tell you what is going on. Personally, anything that can hurt my friend, she/he has a right to know about to spare...

olivemom I live in New England and my favorite has got to be autumn. It's not too hot, not too cold yet. The scenery is just beautiful, there's just a really cozy feeling in the air. I just think it's a perfect balance of all the seasons.

olivemom LOL..I've never heard of chocolate having that effect. I guess it can make you you a little more alert because of the sugar rush you get from that and other candies. I would just stick to studying.

What do you do with your old socks? Once they get a hole in the toe, or the heel gets worn out, do you use your old socks for something else? Or do you just throw them away? I have been trying to come up with some purposes for...

olivemom I just throw them away. Socks are something that I'm never in danger of running out of. They aren't that expensive, and you can get them really cheap for a multi-pack at most retailers. There really isn't any use to holding onto them.

olivemom No. Being a petite female, that would be extremely risky and dangerous. It's nice to want to help out a stranger, but unfortunately, not everyone is as good-hearted as you may be.

olivemom That is usually one of those questions people tend to stay away from. If you are not comofortable discussing money, simply tell them. If I made a comfortable living, I probably wouldn't mind disclosing appoximately how much my salary is. To be honest, if there...
